Apt unmet dependencies while installing R on Ubuntu 16.04
0
I wanted to install the new R version so I did a purge by removing all r-*. And then I broke everything unfortunately. I try to reinstall R project by typing
sudo apt install r-base r-base-core r-recommended
and then I obtain

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
r-base-core : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.27) but 2.23-0ubuntu11 is to be
installed
Depends: libcurl4 (>= 7.28.0) but it is not installable
Depends: libicu60 (>= 60.1-1~) but it is not installable
Depends: libreadline7 (>= 6.0) but it is not installable
Recommends: r-base-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Does anyone know how to solve this ?

You have held-broken packages. Fix this first (ie. trysudo apt -f install& explore anything it reports, I would fix those first). I'd also view theaptlogs to see what you removed with your first listed command, and use that as a guide on fixing your system. I'd suggest closely avoiding using wildcards on remove commands unless you closely scrutinize what's being removed

A quick look at the 16.04 repo reveals that the versions of the lib dependencies that are attempting to be installed are not part of the standard 16.04 distribution so they're not available. Is it possible you're trying to install a newer version of R still such that the dependencies can't be met on your Ubuntu distro as is? packages.ubuntu.com/en/xenial/libs

Ok, I'm dumb. I found out that I put the wrong source in my sources.list. I putdeb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu cosmic-cran35/instead of debhttps://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu xenial-cran35/. Thank you !

I added the wrong source in my sources.list. Instead of putting the xenial one, I put the cosmic one. By correcting this, everything seems to work now !

You have held-broken packages. Fix this first (ie. try
sudo apt -f install& explore anything it reports, I would fix those first). I'd also view theaptlogs to see what you removed with your first listed command, and use that as a guide on fixing your system. I'd suggest closely avoiding using wildcards on remove commands unless you closely scrutinize what's being removed– guiverc
